On the nose: Poured cool and swirled vigorously, shows sweet, deep fruit and some stinky feet. From the aroma, seems like this will be more old-world than most Australian shiraz, but with solid weight.

On the palate: The primary elements on the palate are in fact deeply fruited, inky really, with some high-toned red notes and definite old-world funk all blended together. Fruit notes are deep blackberry with a hint of red currant. Finish is modest in length, but clean given the bold, sweet palate.

In summary: Overall, rates three stars with a plus for power on the five-star Spirit of Wine scale. Rates a "good value" designation.
